SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MODEL-BASED OPTIMIZATION OF MECHANICAL VENTILATION

摘要

A mechanical ventilator (10) is connected with a ventilated patient (12) to provide ventilation in accordance with ventilator settings of the mechanical ventilator. Physiological values (variables) are acquired for the ventilated patient using physiological sensors (32). A ventilated patient cardiopulmonary (CP) model (40) is fitted to the acquired physiological variables values to generate a fitted ventilated patient CP model by fine-tuning its parameters (50). Updated ventilator settings are determined by adjusting model ventilator settings of the fitted ventilated patient CP model to minimize a cost function (60). The updated ventilator settings may be displayed on a display component (22) as recommended ventilator settings for the ventilated patient, or the ventilator settings of the mechanical ventilator may be automatically changed to the updated ventilator settings so as to automatically control the mechanical ventilator.
